2009 Catch Up

I realize that the last post was also titled "catch up" but it seems that the end of 2009 came and went without us updating anything. Dublyn enjoyed her first Thanksgiving and Christmas. She started to eat "big people food" as we discovered she preferred homemade sweet potatoes to the baby food ones. She's not high maintenance or anything :) We also celebrated Christmas with family in Wisconsin. Brad and I had to learn to travel in a new way that included a roof bag. Despite our best efforts, the car was completely full on the way home and we forgot a box in my parents' garage. We are still working on finding places to put all of Dublyn's toys. She's happy playing with everything which is what really matters now. A few moments of peace and happiest are worth it!

Catch Up Time-Halloween

Things have been really busy since I went back to work on November 2. I'm sorry I haven't updated the blog in a really long time...time seems to fly past me every night. Here are pictures of our Halloween Bunny. Dublyn laughed every time we put the costume on her, especially the ears. Too much fun! She lasted about an hour as a bunny and helped pass out candy, but then the bunny needed some pjs. Also posting a couple more pictures from the pumpkin patches.

Badger Baby

Dublyn has officially become a Badger fan. She has the outfit and wears it every Saturday, but now she is a Fifth Quarter fan. Her new favorite songs are "On Wisconsin" and "The Bud Song". There are lots of smiles and giggles when we sing the songs or we hear them on TV. I guess it's time to buy the UW Band CD!

4 Month Update

Dublyn went to the doctor for her 4 month appointment last Tuesday. She now weighs 12 lbs 3 oz and is 23 1/4 inches long. She also had another round of vaccines that Brad got to be a part of with me. Not a fun time!

Our living room and basement are starting to be overrun with baby toys and "gear". We tried out several new toys this week including her "planet" and the Bumbo chair. Dublyn is always trying to sit up by herself so these two toys are exactly what she wants right now. She is also learning to eat from a spoon which is a total mess. Dublyn wants to "help" by holding the spoon. You can tell by the pictures how well this is going!

Here are some of the latest pictures! Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the fall weather!

3 Month Pictures

We had Dublyn's pictures done in early September, which turned out great. Who would have known we had a little ham on our hands?! These are some of our favorites.

More Pictures

Just found more pictures from our trip. Thought I would share some more! (All you bloggers...how do I rotate the pictures? It's driving me crazy!)

Catch up time

So...it's been awhile since I have updated this blog. We were in Wisconsin for 3 weeks and Dublyn got to meet all of her grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. She is one lucky girl to have so many friends and family! Dublyn also learned what it means to be a Packer fan. She went to Packer training camp and Lambeau Field. There are no pictures of her in her Packer outfit since it only lasted until 8:30 in the morning. We'll try again and hope for better results (aka no more Blow Outs at Lambeau).

Dubs also had her first round of vaccinations when we returned. We happily survived the days after the shots with a little help from Infant Tylenol.

It is amazing to us how quickly she goes and changes. We don't always recognize it until we look at the pictures but it is really fun to see her change. Here are a bunch of pictures from our trip.
